Whitney the Weige

This entry is a late one. I visited Whit a month ago and now I´m getting some pics up for you. This is Whitney on her favorite street in Bergen. Why is it her favorite?... she doesn´t really know, she just likes it.This is my favorite street in her town. I just liked the colors. Plus, I saw that green car coming and had to get that in the shot too for some extra colorfulness.Let´s see, here are a few more details... I arrived in Bergen after a day of travelling and waiting in airports. I was so glad to see Whit waiting for me when I walked into the main part of the airport. I chatted her ear off about what I was doing and how I was and all about Spain. It felt so strange to tell her these things and not have her actually know how it is here. Hard to explain I guess, you just have to be here to know.

Anyhoo, we went back to her apartment and talked until the wee hours. We took the tram up to the top of Bergen on our first day. Whit has that story and pics in her blog. Here´s the first pic we took together for the trip.Whit had a training session with her little ones that night and I went to watch. She has 5 little girls who she says know english, but really only one does and then she translates for the rest of the team. One of them wore a skirt, one wore hiking boots and wool socks, and all had the manditory messy ponytail for that age group. A snap.It was fun to see Whit work with them. She really thinks through how to get them to have fun and still learn.

Here´s one of my favorite pictures from the trip, Whit with her confused face on.Yuck, I know I´m being so short with all these descriptions, but it was a while ago...

Fast forward to day 2 and we decided to try the salmon we´d heard so much about. Remember the guy who gave us the taste? Well, we bought his salmon and ate it with cheese and crackers for dinner. Delicious! Here´s the before picture.

And here´s the after.As you can see, we attacked it. Beer was a better match for the fish than water... or most any food really ; )

After a movie, some expenssive sushi and a trot over to the aquarium, we were off to Oslo for Whit´s games. Here is Whitney in her travelling outfit.

Holla! Está para mojar pan! This is not an optical illusion folks, Whitney´s legs do actually fit in those jeans.

You already saw her sweet game video. Oslo on our own was a bit traumatic for us, as you can also see in Whit´s blog. Here´s a picture of me imitating one of the statues in Vigeland Park.

Whit has a few more of these. The park was a highlight. The statues are beautiful. Ok, I´m off to practice. By the way, I am officially a jugadora, I can play with the team I practice with now, it´s a for sure thing. Yay!
